star - unique standard tape archiver
|
|
|
|
star is a very fast tar(1) like tape archiver with improved functionality.
|
|
star includes the first free implementation of POSIX.1-2001 extended tar
|
|
headers, is built on top of libfind, includes a sophisticated diff command,
|
|
and has no limitation on filename length.
|
|
star automatically recognizes standard archive formats and non-standard
|
|
formats, such as gnu, by their deviations from the standard. Star is able
|
|
to archive and restore Access Control Lists for files using POSIX.1-2001
|
|
extended headers.
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to build star using smake
|
|
(http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/smake.html)
|
|
|
|
star installs under /opt/schily/ with other schily applications. Symlinks will
|
|
be created for gnutar, suntar, tar, and several others, so those can be used at
|
|
the command-line in favour of their GNU counterparts by modifying the order of
|
|
of PATH entries.
